HA! Spoken like a true adult.
Just got a new dryer+washer combo. I started to read the manual and how to actually take advantage of all the fancy features. 
...if that isn't being an adult, don't know what is.

....actually yes...
A client gave me 1 small plant when I moved in my new apartment 2 years ago. Currently I have 11 pots of plants in my balcony.

I recently took my 15+ year old dryer apart to replace the capacitor and it didn't look anything like that inside.

If i remember correctly, there should be a lint filter inside the dryer to prevent that kind of buildup! 😛

There was a cover inside the dryer that also had to be removed to gain access to it.

That's a lot of buildup!  Good thing you noticed that and cleaned it out since that's where the fire risk resides.

 

I had an issue with that same fan wheel recently where it backed out of it's threads and stopped spinning.  It caused the hot air to not circulate and wouldn't dry anything.  At least it was an easy fix!

Honestly I’d rather just buy a new washer and dryer after 10 years instead of dealing with that. 
 

I’ll stick to duct cleaning every couple years. 

Washer and dryer still run great.

@Warwagon what in the blue fire hazard........

How many people take their dryers apart besides emptying the lent trap and getting their ducts cleaned?

      Good point Anti-spoofing protection for cloud mailboxes Anti-spoofing technology in Microsoft 365 specifically examines forgery of the From header field (also known as the 5322.From address, From address, or P2 sender), because email clients show the From header value as the message sender. When Microsoft 365 has high confidence the From header is forged, the message is identified as spoofed. https://learn.microsoft.com/en...g-protection-spoofing-about
    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.

      As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique materials by using master materials, using instanced meshes, generating a PSO cache, pre-compiling every shader before loading the game and also managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime. It's up to the developer to set all that up properly.

      I think it depends on what you're looking for to do, and the time you have to spare. With my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions; half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, another half hour unpacking and setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, then 15 more minutes mucking around with settings and shooting calibration frames, spending a few hours shooting, merging with past photo sessions, etc. It's crazy how time flies and I often get home later than I expected. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. For one session, where you often need like four for best results when it comes to deep space objects. Even with a smart scope like Dwarf 3, regular non-astro photography is still way more approachable to people getting into photography. I find this is a time consuming niche no matter how I go about it. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself in addition to everything else. Having said this, _if_ you have even more time to spend on this hobby, it will probably be even more rewarding to do it more by hand and learn the skies and the details of how it all works.
